Pasqua Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore DOC 2021 (Italy)

Description

Oak, Raspberry, Spice

A wine with an intense ruby red colour, with decisive aromas of cherry, wild berries and with hints of roasting. Rich, warm and soft on the palate, with velvety tannins.

BLACK LABEL is a selection of Veneto wines characterized by the appassimento technique. A tribute to the first bottles of Amarone and Ripasso produced by the first generation of the family in the 70s. Black Label incorporates the elegance and classicism of the Veronese oenological tradition.

After crushing and destemming, maceration follows on the skins for 15 days, with remontages and fermentation at a controlled temperature of 20-24° C. The product remains in stainless steel tanks until February when it is refermented on the used skins of Amarone to develop structure and aromas. After racking and cleaning, the wine is transferred to barriques of various capacities.

Food Pairing: Pair with flavourful first course dishes like pappardelle with hare, or important second courses such as braised beef, grilled meats, roast lamb. Serve at 16-18° C.
